Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

How accurate to you need it to be?

If you set the computer to the nominal tire size, it will be about as accurate as a car odometer. That's accurate enough for me. If you roll out your wheel, you can gain some increment of accuracy. Some riders roll out and average multiple wheel revolutions for even more precise accuracy. Unless you are a person who pursues accuracy for it's own sake, I don't see that it makes a lot of difference.
